Meanwhile, Mary Ann Ashley, a former village mayor, filed a Freedom of Information Act request on Sept. 26 that seeks information about the town’s health insurance plan, including who is covered and how much they contribute to the plan.

Ms. Ashley is running against Mr. Button in the Nov. 7 race for town supervisor. Mr. Button, a Republican, has held the seat for the past 16 years. Ms. Ashley is running on the Independent line and has been endorsed by the Canton Democratic Committee. “I want to do my homework in the event that I get elected,” Ms. Ashley said. “The budget is starting and I’m trying to educate myself on expenditures. I’m curious about health insurance, how much the town is paying and who is paying what.”

Ms. Ashley said she feels it’s important for the town to have a written policy that specifies the benefit package for non-contractual employees.

“The village has a written policy that outlines those things,” she said.

At Wednesday’s meeting, Mr. Button is also expected to release the town’s proposed 2018 budget. The board will likely set a date for a public hearing on the budget.

The board is also expected to discuss the code enforcement officer position vacated by Russell B. Lawrence IV. He left to take the code enforcement job in the town of Oswegatchie.
